NeoOffice is a fully-featured set of office applications (including word processing, spreadsheet, presentation, vector drawing, database, and macro functionality) for Mac OS X. It can import, edit, and exchange documents with other popular office programs such as Microsoft Office.

NeoOffice is focused on making OpenOffice.org a better Mac OS X citizen, with dozens of standard Mac features not found in OpenOffice.org or LibreOffice.

My opinion of NeoOffice keeps improving. For academic work, I'm finding that it converts between formats, while preserving footnotes and endnotes, better than any other Mac app I know of. When I have to deal in Word documents, NeoOffice takes better care of Word's footnotes than MS Word does! I only use Writer, but that's enough to make NeoOffice worthwhile.

Wondering whether future versions will follow the LibreOffice fork of OOo. Given the plug from NeoOffice on LibreOffice's website, I'm guessing they will.

NeoOffice often surprises me, particularly when I need conversions. I have MS Office too, but I open Neo instead of PowerPoint when someone eMails a .ppt file because Neo is more reliable. More than once, NewOffice's draw program saved me out in the field.

minor caution - this program will launch itself after install without asking you - a bit of a pain if you're doing something else and just want to update in the background, as it can bring older systems grinding to a halt while it launches.
